@mjdxp The vast majority of our downloads are for the Windows version, and we estimate around 200 million users – so that's still a lot of Windows users running LibreOffice 😉

LibreOffice is always free to download from our website. But it's also in the Microsoft Store for a small fee, which helps to cover the costs of putting it there and fund future development. And now there's a 15% #backtoschool discount: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/08/13/libreoffice-in-the-microsoft-store-15-back-to-school-discount/

Step up from being a #LibreOffice user to a contributor! There are many ways you can get involved, build up your skills and learn new things, like Khushi Gautam did: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/08/12/community-member-monday-khushi-gautam/ #foss #OpenSource

@geogoeroe Thanks a lot 😊

@cress1 As it says, it's a mockup. To implement it, we need help 😊 https://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/

The #LibreOffice Asia Conference 2024 starts tomorrow in Taipei! First was the pre-party, and then the event begins: https://conf.libreoffice.asia #foss #opensource

@massonpj You can just type the proposal directly into the site 😊

Our next major update – #LibreOffice 24.8 – is just around the corner! It'll be released in late August, and you can help to test the second Release Candidate: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/07/30/libreoffice-24-8-rc2-is-available-for-testing/ #foss #OpenSource

How do #LibreOffice developers maintain code quality? One of the tools is fuzz testing – learn about it here: https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/07/29/fuzz-testing-to-maintain-libreoffice-code-quality/ #foss #OpenSource

@anoklola As it says, it's a mockup created by the Design community, not an implemented feature (yet). But you can help the community to implement it and test it, when people step up to work on it 😊

In July, #LibreOffice's Design community worked on mockups for a peer-to-peer collaboration feature. We also had updates to the software, a preview of the next major release, and more: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/07/29/libreoffice-project-and-community-recap-july-2024/ #foss #opensource

@vivekkrgupta111 Great! The translations are made by volunteers, so if you want to contribute to Hindi, please see: https://www.libreoffice.org/community/localization/

@mrundkvist Hi! For all help, please use: https://ask.libreoffice.org/

@Jey_snow @TimWardCam @stux Hi! Can you please provide some details, so that we can investigate? The exact download page you're accessing (is it the Portuguese one, for instance), and the web browser you're using? We haven't had other reports for this, so it may be some temporary glitch or something else...

@Quenti Hi! The native language communities that submitted a report on their activities in 2023. There are more languages, of course!

Our native language projects translate #LibreOffice into 100 languages, making the software usable for billions around the globe! Learn what they did in 2023: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/07/20/native-language-projects-tdfs-annual-report-2023/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware

How would peer-to-peer collaboration work in #LibreOffice? Our Design community has been exploring ideas and working on mockups: https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/07/17/peer-to-peer-collaboration-with-libreoffice/ #foss #opensource #p2p
